I have an A3000/040 w/6MB of RAM and 2 HD's (one is a fujitsu 1090MB fast
scsi-II HD, the other is an old 50MB quantum).  After going through all the
initial setup procedure, I start the boot strap program and everything seems to
work ok (both hard drives are recognized, the HD control is recognized, etc.). 
Then it asks me for the kernal.  I tell it where it is (I've tried everthing
from sd0* to sd0a,b,c,d,e,...) and then some warning messages are displayed and 
my system reboots.  Any ideas, help, answers would be appreciated, I haven't
found any documentation on this problem (I don't have a lot of time to look
either).

Thanks in advance
